Any CoD Config gurus out there?

[Bokchoi]

I've been having this slight problem of my name not changing properly when I do some testing, my previous animations works but the new ones I'm making don't seem to work. :idea:



here's my config file:
bind 1 set name ^8x^2x^8xxxx^2xx^8xxx^2xx^8x^2xx^8xx
bind 2 set name ^8xx^2x^8xxxx^2x^8xxx^2x^8xxx^2x^8x^2x^8x^2x^8xx
bind 3 set name ^8xx^2x^8xxxx^2x^8xxxxxxx^2x^8x^2x^8x^2x^8xx
bind 4 set name ^8xx^2x^8xxxx^2x^8x^2xxx^8xxx^2x^8x^2x^8x^2x^8xx
bind 5 set name ^8xx^2xxx^8xxxx^2xx^8xxxx^2x^8x^2x^8x^2x^8xx


it is to be used as a team at the end of a round.
it should spell out LGM but the game won't seem to accept it properly...


First of all, it does change the name but not the correct name (it's not like it's not taking the name change at all)
The Problem:
Basically the subsequent color changes on the same line does not take effect.
for example (bind 5 set name ^8xx^2xxx^8xxxx^2xx^8xxxx^2x^8x^2x^8x^2x^8xx)
what would show up instead of XXDDDXXXXDDXXXXDXDXDXX
is XXDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

those who would like to help me test this out, pm me please.

Did you try quoting the strings?

ie
bind 4 set name "^8xx^2x^8xxxx^2x^8x^2xxx^8xxx^2x^8x^2x^8x^2x^8xx"


This is w/o being able to look at my old RtCW config files but I'm pretty sure I had to quote stuff like that. Been a long time though.

I have a name changing script that I culled from Ifurita's website and used in ET. I tried using it in CoD but it didn't seem to work. Then I realized that it was working, but not in the manner I expected. I didn't pursue testing it out as it wasn't essential, but it appears that any name changes made during the round will only appear at the end of the round. I assume this is to prevent punks from TKing and switching names.

naw it doesn't make any difference with or without quotes, it is buggy as Dawg says. I end up having to type it in manually in the console which really suxor the console's boxor.

well i dont think CoD auto execs the autoexec.cfg file like wolf/et does. if you type /exec autoexec.cfg in the console then it works

Its more of an iterator than a toggle, but yes, that is the script. I didn't try to get it to echo the name changes but I noticed that the name wouldn't change on the scoreboard until the end of the round. I didn't pursue to see if I could get it to live-update the name as it wasn't that important.

For those who are interested, I've found the problem and it's a dumb one but severe one. If you don't know already, in CoD the colors goes from 0-7. And as you can see I used ^8 which is undefined and therefore it doesn't know what color to put.

Thanks to Klaus and a clan mate last night, I was able to test my script partially and it worked.

PS: I just checked my PM, Ignus did tell me about this problem I had but I haven't checked my PM! Thanks Ignus you guru!
